Chapter 1222: Coming to the Door
After hearing what Erpan said, Dapan nodded coldly.
There was a murderous aura in the boy's steady steps.
Then, he looked at Tang Bao.
"Aunt, have you heard anything?" Da Pan asked seriously.
It seems that as long as Tang Bao says yes, he will come to her house and beat her up!
"That's not the case." Tang Bao shook her head and said, "I just feel that the third young master of the Bai family is not a good match for Sister Siya."
"Hmph! That guy is so conceited, his eyes seem to have grown on top of his head, and he looks down on everyone. It's as if he's the most knowledgeable person in the world, and everyone else is a fool!" Da Pan said disdainfully, "But in the end, he didn't even pass the imperial examination! He's too ambitious, but his expectations are too high, and he's all show. How can someone like him be worthy of Xia Siya? He's just relying on his good family background!"
Tang Bao looked at Da Pan in surprise.
It was the first time she saw her eldest nephew judging someone with such sharp words!
Da Pan has always been a straightforward person, kind to others, and treats his younger brothers like an elder brother.
In this respect, I inherited from Brother Su and Sister-in-law Su.
But now, there was a hint of hostility between his brows.
Tang Bao didn't know that the Bai family's main house was in chaos at this time.
The eldest lady of the Bai family looked at the woman kneeling in front of her, especially when she saw her slightly bulging belly, she almost fainted.
"Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!" The eldest lady's head was throbbing and her heart was aching.
The woman kneeling on the ground had a calm expression on her face.
He touched his belly with both hands.
In a gentle tone, he said, "Every word Shuqin said is true. The child in her belly is indeed the Third Young Master's. If Madam doesn't believe it, you can call the Third Young Master to come and ask him in person."
The eldest lady's eyelids twitched violently.
"Go and find the third young master!" The eldest lady of the Bai family ordered with a grim face.
The nanny who was her confidant agreed and went out to look for someone in fear.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw several maids and old women gathered together, gossiping and chattering.
While muttering, he would occasionally glance at the main room.
"I recognize that woman. Her surname is Zou. She's the cousin of the Third Young Master's wife. Back when we were in Qingzhou Prefecture, she had been trying to seduce the Third Young Master..."
"...It can't be a thick waist, it's clearly a body..."
"You saw her walk, didn't you? That posture...it's definitely not that of a girl..."
"She came to see the eldest lady, right..."
"What are you all doing standing here?" the nanny said sternly, "Are you itching for trouble?!"
As soon as the nanny finished speaking, the maids and servants immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
However, as these maids and servants dispersed, all kinds of speculations also spread in the Bai Mansion.
When Bai Shuqing heard the news, the teacup in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"She actually came to the Bai family?" Bai Shuqing looked at Chunliu in disbelief, "How dare she?"
No! This is actually true!?
Chunliu nodded with some fear.
"Right now, rumors are spreading throughout the mansion, with all sorts of rumors circulating. Someone saw her enter the eldest lady's courtyard with their own eyes." Chun Liu whispered, "Miss, although we didn't catch her in the act, it seems the woman in Sanhua Hutong is Zou Shuqin! She and the Third Young Master..."
Chunliu didn't dare to say any more after this.
She followed the Third Young Master's carriage several times to Sanhua Hutong and saw with her own eyes the Third Young Master enter a house.
Even until night, he still didn't come out.
Although she had never seen the face of the woman living in that house, she had seen the appearance of her maid.
That was clearly Zou Shuqin's maid Mo Ju!
After hearing Chunliu's words, Bai Shuqing's heart started pounding.
What exactly does Zou Shuqin want to do?
She had been struggling with this for so many days, even hiding from Tang Bao and not daring to tell anyone about this matter. She always held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the woman was not Zou Shuqin, and that her third brother would take the initiative to break off relations with that woman.
After all, my third brother is getting married soon.
But now, Zou Shuqin came to the door...
The glimmer of hope in Bai Shuqing's heart was completely shattered.
"Miss, do you think something will happen? This Zou Shuqin is obviously a powerful person! She went to see the eldest lady, could it be that she wants to disrupt... the marriage between the third young master and Miss Xia?" Chun Liu guessed.
After saying that, he rejected it again.
"A shameless woman like her can't interfere with the Third Young Master's marriage. Miss Xia is going to marry soon, and there will be no changes to the marriage between the two families."
Otherwise, the Bai family will be embarrassed, and the Xia family will also be embarrassed.
If Miss Xia cancels the engagement, she will definitely not be able to find a good family in the future, and will have to suffer in silence in the end.
Before the second young lady married into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, the second uncle was also bewitched by the vixen from the Ye family. But in the end, didn't the second young lady still marry him as scheduled?
Not only that, the vixen from the Ye family also became the second uncle's concubine.
The Xia family is not as well-off as the Bai family, so they will definitely not cancel the engagement.
Alas! It's a pity that such a good person like Miss Xia has to be annoyed by a concubine as soon as she gets married.
Moreover, this concubine was pregnant.
The more Chunliu thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Xia Siya.
In her opinion, Zou Shuqin would definitely become Bai Shuzhi's concubine because of the child in her belly.
As soon as Xia Siya entered the room, she would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing a concubine who was pregnant.
"Something big has happened...something big has happened..." The Second Madam walked in excitedly, her eyes shining as she said, "I knew I wasn't seeing things! Your Third Brother really has someone else outside, and now she's come to visit us, pregnant..."
The second wife finished her speech with a look of gloating on her face.
Bai Shuqing glanced at her mother and said irritably, "Mom, Third Brother's actions have brought shame upon the Bai family! If the Xia family makes a scene and comes to cancel the engagement, it won't look good for our Bai Mansion either! We might even be laughed at by the entire capital!"
The expression on the second wife's face froze.
Then, he glanced at his daughter and said, "So what? I just can't stand your aunt's hypocritical look!"
The Second Lady said this and snorted.
He continued, "She always brags about how great her son is, how talented he is, and how self-disciplined he is. But in the end, what happened? Didn't he even fail the imperial examination? Didn't he still keep a mistress outside and get her pregnant? Humph! What a shame!"
The more the Second Lady spoke, the louder her voice became.
He looks so proud, as if he can eat ten bowls of rice in one meal!
Bai Shuqing also felt ashamed!
Not only is it embarrassing, but how should she tell Su Tang?
What would Su Tang do if she knew about this?
"No! I'll go check it out right now. Your aunt won't be able to stop her. She's practically pissed off." The Second Madam said excitedly, "You can't miss this kind of spectacle! Let's go and watch the fun with mother..."
The second wife walked out and called her daughter to go with her.
Bai Shuqing thought about it, bit her lip and followed the second wife.
She had to see with her own eyes to see if it was true.
If it was true, she also wanted to know how her aunt would deal with Zou Shuqin.
